Understanding Sex Holds Key To Adjustment
Cooperative, patient understanding of the problems faced by the woman in marriage is a requirement if the married couple is to find happiness and satisfaction.
This was the main theme of Dr. Nadina Kavinoky’s “Marital Sex Adjustment" lecture in Bovard yesterday.
The problem of sex, according to Dr. Kavinoky, is not restricted to youth, but troubles all humanity. Sexual maladjustment can bring failure in all walks of life and is to i a great extent traceable to lack of ! emotional maturity.
EMOTIONAL MATURITY I A graphic gauge of emotional ma-i turity lies in such faculties as per-| severity, reliability, endurance, patience, and persistency, and having I traits of determination, flexibility, j tolerance, patience, and adaptability.
I Two recent developments have! : lessened uncertainty and hesitation J | in the marriage situation and allow- j ed younger couples to marry.
Development of contraception and j decreased venereal diseases have j helped alleviate hesitancy and fear i of burden for young people with school or financial obligations. Also, j

SC's School of Law yesterday announced inauguration of the Hale Court Competition, honoring former Dean William Green Hale.

SEX CYCLE
The mature and responsible observation of the sex pattern which will bring the greatest fulfillment {to the couple after marriage is all-| important.
Physically, the sex cycle is set by j the wife. Two graphs are used to indicate her “safe” and her highly fertile periods. Diversity of body temperature with its peaks and troughs, and analysis of the ovula-tion-menstration fluctuation of the individual are the methods used.
These indications must be adapted intelligently to the sex plan. At certain periods of her cycle, the | woman is uninterested or even hos-! tile to sexual relation. This may al- j so occur after the birth of a child,; when the mother is occupied with j its care.
Disregard of an intelligent sex | plan can bring jealousy, frustration, and lack of confidence to the j couple, and frigidity to the wife.
Fear seems to play an important j part in the female's approach to j marriage. It may be induced by ig- I norance of normal sex development, | pre-marital relations, or dread of I
pregnancy.

fields.
SLIDES, PHOTOS
Dr. Forrester will illustrate his talk with slides and photographs of the tiny particles.
The meson is in existence only two millionths of a second before it explodes and converts itself into pure nuclear energy. In spite of its short life, the particle’s velocity enables it to travel many miles before its transformation.
YUKAWA FIRST The Japanese physicist Yukawa was the first to believe in the ex-I istence of the meson. However,; j more complete knowledge of the | better known parts of the atom, the photon, neutron, electron, and I proton, will be necessary before the j | meson can be fully understood.
As far as what may be beyond ' the newly discovered meson, Dr. j ; Forrester said:
“At present the parts comprising ' [ the atom are not thought to be j made up of still smaller particles, but this may be proven false in j the future.”
Here's Chance To Lick Bruin
Trojans, irked by the recent defacing job of SC’s campus, will have a chance for revenge before Saturday’s big game.
Solid-colored cardinal and gold lollipops, bearing a striking resemblance to Brother Bruin, will be on sa'e tomorrow and Friday.
Priced at 5 cents, the suckers will be sold by Key and Scroll members, national junior women's honorary- This will be the third annual “Lick the Bruin" sale, held before each UCLA game.
The candy Bruins will be sold in front of the Student Union and at stations throughout the campus.
“This is your chance to lick a Bruin and escape unmarked," said Anita Ybarra, president of Key and Scroll. “Let’s start the job the varsity is going to finish on Saturday.”

Education majors of upper divis-j ion and graduate standing may reg- I i ister from 9 to 3 in 354 Administra- j ! tion and in front of Bovard audi- j torium. To be eligible, voters must j have completed or be enrolled in at j least one education course.
CAMPUS VANDAL PAINTING REPERCUSSIONS AWAITED
Though painters are patiently removing the paint and feather job given the SC campus by unknown vandals this weekend, speculation among students is rife as to what the repercussions of the act will be.
Daily Bruin editor Chuck Francis, in a telephone conversation with a DT reporter yesterday, said that “acts of van- i dalism and childish conduct by SC and UCLA students have been making news all too frequently. It is possible that they : will result in some type of action disagreeable to all con- ! cerned.”
“This same kind of thoughtless conduct has been carried on between rival schools in several eastern cities,” he said, “resulting in the cancellation of all inter-school activities, j We don’t want that to happen here!”
“The Daily Bruin has always been against such pre-game ! vandalism. We are attempting to ferret out the responsible j parties, that they be made to pay for the damages and to j realize the stupidity and possible consequences of their ac- J tions.”
Milton E. Hahn, UCLA dean of students, could not be reached for comment. His secretary said that he had prepared no statement for release.
Head painter Kai Gottschalk said that this is the worst j job of cleanup he has had to do in all his 16 years with the university. “Before,” he added, “they have used just a few pints, or quarts, of paint, But this time, even with high costs, • they have used gallons of good, durable stuff.”
Gustaf A. Norlander, head plumber, backed up Gottschalk’s remarks. “I have been here more than 19 years,” he said, “and I have never seen anything like this.”
Campus painters L. I. King, Oscar Woodward, and Warren Walters know just how durable that paint is. After a day’s j work with thinner and steel wool they have only partially , restored Tommy Trojan’s recently-acquired sheen.
Seniors Grab Special Tickets
One thousand reserved tickets for Saturday's big game, earmarked for seniors only, were distributed yesterday within a four-hour period.
More than 60 seniors, braving the early-morning fog. lined up before 2 a.m. in front of the new ticket of-I fice. By noon the Iast ticket was I gone.
According to Dave Saunders, sen-! ior class president, the Idea of a | “senior game” was strictly an ex-' periment.
“We are extremely pleased with the response of the seniors," said Saunders, “and the council hopes to establish the UCLA game as a | senior game tradition.”
“Such a display shows us the ' spirit of the senior class is very high on campus this semester.’* he continued. “It is a very gratifying experience.”
Because it was an experiment, Saunders had asked the ticket office to set aside only 1000 ducats. There are approximately 3000 seniors. Wholehearted acceptance of the plan indicates that sufficient tickets would be made available in future years.
Garb for the day will be white shirts or blouses and rooter’s caps.
Half-time activities will include a presentation of the senior class theme, “the '49ers.”
